The rooms need to be updated. The rooms were definitely cleaned, but bc the bathrooms are old it felt more dirty than it was. Beds were comfortable. I wouldn’t recommend for families with children. The biggest issue was the large amount of mentally unstable unhoused people that hang out around the property. We saw over 6 incidents with people either getting into fights with pedestrians, being aggressive, pushing over people’s bikes, and the biggest was a woman with her pants down to her knees crawling on the ground while cussing at people. I was with my 3 kids and they were scared. The location to the Santa Monica Pier is great and there is a slight ocean view, but I would only recommend this hotel for adults. We had to check out a day early because it was too unsettling for my kids.

I’ve stayed at the property multiple times due to the price, location and parking. The parking/lot is challenging and not inexpensive, but still better than other options. The front desk is not accessible until 9am which can be problematic. I wish they would install a hook in the bathroom for a robe or towel. There drawer space is extremely limited.

Clean but overpriced

Location is beachside, motel is truly just that, it’s pretty overpriced but the staff is very competent and they do a good job keeping it tidy. The fact it’s so expensive a night and an additional $33 in parking! We could have stayed somewhere upgraded for that rate!

It’s an older property. When we got there, the office was locked up. I tried to call the front desk probably a good six times and ring the bell at least eight until someone finally came to let me in so I could check in. It wasn’t even late at night it was about 6:00 PM. After a long drive from Vegas, I wasn’t impressed having to sit and wait for someone to come to the front desk. The rooms are definitely “tired” but it was clean. Parking is very limited. The location to the pier however it is nice and close.

Great location a couple blocks from the Santa Monica pier, downtown Santa Monica and walkable to Venice Beach. Cute “old school” motel experience, with clean and updated room. Two women traveling and felt safe although you are in a busy tourist area so always be aware of you surroundings. Definitely would stay again.

Location Location Location

If you're looking for a hotel in Santa Monica with an unbeatable location, this is it! Just steps from the beach and pier, and right next door to the iconic Chez Jay and Sweet Maple, it's the perfect spot to experience everything the area has to offer. The room was comfortable, especially the bed—I slept great every night. Parking was convenient and reasonably priced (which is a rarity in this area). And the best part? I spent time on the beach every single day during my stay. Whether it was a morning walk or catching the sunset, having the ocean so close made my trip even more special. If you're visiting Santa Monica and want easy access to the beach, great dining, and a comfortable place to stay, I highly recommend this hotel. I'll definitely be back!
